IMAGES of an eerie abandoned church haunted by creepy ghost-like figures will send a shiver down your spine.

The disturbing figures, shrouded in white sheets, represent the ghosts of Sudeten Germans - who played a role in the history of the small village in the Czech Republic where the 14th century church is located.

They have been placed around the run-down church, both standing and sat down in the old wooden pews, as the walls crumble around them.

The spooky snaps of the church, which was abandoned in the 1960s, were taken by urban explorer Roman, 29, during a trip around Europe.

Roman, from the Netherlands, said: "The church became abandoned after the ceiling collapsed during a funeral service, and the locals became afraid so they boarded up the building.
